A UNION leader and chair of Disability Labour urged Sir Keir Starmer to oppose the assisted dying Bill today.

TSSA general secretary Maryam Eslamdoust and Disability Labour’s Kathy Bole wrote to the Prime Minister after an amendment to the proposed legislation increased fears the process will be sent behind closed doors.

Ms Eslamdoust shared her letter after Labour MP Kim Leadbeater proposed replacing a High Court judge’s oversight of the process with an expert panel.
